Publisher 101XP and developer Troglobytes Games have announced the release date of Blind Fate: Edo no Yami. Blind Fate: Edo no Yami is a sci-fi action-adventure game in which the world is ruled by deadly mechanical beings from Japanese Lore. It is slated for release on PC, Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch on September 15, 2022, and pre-orders for the game are now live through 101XP’s official website and GOG.
The publisher details Blind Fate: Edo no Yami as a game that features a dark and machine-filled Edo period as the Shogunate rules Japan. Their power and prestige are rooted deeply within the society and you are given clear instructions: Follow orders, obey your overlords and kill. Throughout your life you have been following this rule however during a bloody conflict, your eyesight is taken from you and now you start seeing things more clearly.
After you ‘re-awaken’, the balance of life is changed instantly, and you rely solely on your damaged sensors as you learn to survive and heed the advice of your mentor. You must become stronger and dive head-first through a path of rage in this insane and fantastical world of cybernetics and ancient mythology. Everything you once knew is now turned upside down and you must learn everything that once made you a skilled, samurai assassin.
Key features of Blind Fate: Edo no Yami include:
- Your sensors pierce the curtain of the past. Without your eyesight, you must use sound, smell, and heat to explore the world, uncovering centuries of lore and guiding Yami on his vengeful, story-driven journey as ancient memories pave the way to see the present.
- Discover your new found abilities to detect your enemies and identify their weak spots, then crush them with lightning speed. Even blind, you are unstoppable!
- Make use of ‘The Mask of the Oni’ which creates a simulation of the world around you. Tread carefully however: all you remember has changed and data from both past and present can either lead you to victory or deceive you with echoes of memories that no longer exist.
- Discover the story of dozens of robotic versions of Japanese folklore creatures. Find their weaknesses, let metal meet metal, and destroy each one with devastating finishers!

The entire team has been hard at work in these past two years, creating a game that encapsulated our passions, smothering it in art and history, and fine tuning the battle system to bring a refreshing challenge to players of the genre. If you’re as excited as us, we invite you to wishlist and pre-order the game today, myself and the team will be waiting for you at the Dojo come September 15th.
